    Wrecked my 09 FZ6R

    I don't know what jacket it is, but I attached a pic of it. It did have the standard back protector in it. My back injuries were caused from hyper extension. My head hit the back of the jeep while by backside was flipping over the top, crushing 3 vertebrae from bending backwards so violently.

    Wrecked my 09 FZ6R

    I don't think there could've been any gear that could've lessened my injuries. I was VERY lucky. I hit a jeep, had I hit something with a more solid back side and not an open top I would've probably broken my neck. If I would've laid it down I would've been hit head on by a dodge durango. I was...

    Wrecked my 09 FZ6R

    I had my icon helmet, icon jacket, icon gloves, jeans, and cowboy boots on at the time of the accident. I hit the back of the jeep and landed in it, so no road rash. I could've spared a gash to my right knee had I been wearing leathers (but I was on lunch break at work and found it a pain just...

    Wrecked my 09 FZ6R

    I did think about that, and it's still definitely an option. It's guna be costly tho, new forks, tank, headers, etc. I was thinking it'll probably be cheaper to get a used R6. The biggest problem I had with stunting the 6R was getting it off the ground, it's heavy and I had it lowered to fit me...

    Wrecked my 09 FZ6R

    Maybe.. I was ready to move up to a more aggressive bike right before I wrecked my FZ6R and I guess that's the reason I haven't really considered another sport touring bike. I was also in the market for a stunt bike (one that I could beat up learning new stunts) before my accident, but I don't...

    Wrecked my 09 FZ6R

    I've been thinking either R1 or CBR1000RR but it really depends on how well my back heals. I crushed my T10, L1, and L4. So the aggressive seating position might force me to move on to a cruiser, in which case I wouldn't even know where to begin

    Wrecked my 09 FZ6R

    Thanks, I can't wait to get back on the road. It'll be a little while cause I'm still not 100% yet, but I'm looking for bikes now because picking your bike shouldn't be an overnight kind of decision. I am super excited for the future though and getting back out there on 2 wheels. My 2012 Mustang...

    Wrecked my 09 FZ6R

    Thanks guys. I'm definitely ok, better than ok. I have a whole new perspective on life. Recovery has been very dificult and I've gained a whole lot of patience (something I've always struggled to maintain), but I'm getting there and i'll be stronger than ever before you know it. Plus, I rocked...

    Wrecked my 09 FZ6R

    It's been a while since I've been on here, and for good reason. I wrecked my bike a few months ago and I'm finally getting back on my feet. I hit the back of a jeep at about 45mph who pulled out in front of me and stopped, claimed he didn't see me. Anyhow, I went over the top of the bike and...

    FZ6R Sightings

    In the 2 years I've had my bike, I finally spotted another FZ6R in Columbus, GA. It was a stock yellow one, and of course the day I spotted it I was in my convertible mustang instead of on my bike :(

    Exhaust install

    I saw the two brothers group buy post and called Nate with NewEnough and he beat any price I could find anywhere else. I purchased both the exhaust and juice box through him and he gave me a discount on both. And I am very happy with my setup, well worth the money...

    canister length... thinking about a shorty...

    I measured mine, and as you can see it measures just over 10" on the short side. The longer side measures about 12.5". I personally like the shorter can. And I like that I was able to tuck it up behind the rear brake.
